Poor hygiene may present itself as pale gums or red gums, foul breath from mouth, foul taste of mouth, pus discharge from gums, etc.
Vitamin C deficiency: Swollen tooth can be sign of Vitamin C deficiency. In this condition you may have other signs as well like swollen tongue, easily bleeding gums, etc. Vitamin C can become deficient in your body easily as it is water soluble vitamin and hence can be excreted and exhausted easily from the body. To correct this condition, amount of Vitamin C should be taken as supplements and should be included in your diet as well.
Gum disease: Swollen teeth, or ideally should be called as swollen gums, can be a sign of some gum disease.

If not removed at that time, then these germs in mouth infects the gums of your teeth, which leads to counter reaction by our body, leading to inflammation of our gums. Depending upon the severity it can occur in two forms:

-Gingivitis: This is a mild gum disease characterized by red and swollen gums which bleed easily while brushing or flossing. Earlier you treat them, better and faster reversal of the gum health will result.

-Periodontitis: When gingivitis is not treated, it may develop into this condition. This condition is characterized by retracted, swollen, tender and/ or bleeding gums with increased sensitivity, painful chewing and looseness of teeth. Retracted gums are further prone to infection and may cause deeper infection into the roots of teeth.

Tooth abscess: This may occur in a decayed tooth especially when it is decayed at its root. This occurs when the infection from the decayed site spread further into the root and gum. This starts with tooth ache and present as swollen gum with pus inside, painful and tender gum, foul breath, swollen jaw, painful chewing and may include fever as well. This condition should be treated as soon as possible as the infection might spread further.
Irritation from wisdom tooth can also lead to swelling. This happens when wisdom tooth attempts to break out. In some people it can spurt out easily without causing much trouble.
